Wyoming State Bar Apologizes For Publishing Cheney Bio Bashing Obama

By BRENDAN JAMES Published SEPTEMBER 4, 2014, 6:06 PM EDT

Dick Cheney caused an uproar ahead of his upcoming speech at a Wyoming legal convention after the former vice president submitted his own speaker bio bashing President Obama's "weakening of America across the globe."

The Wyoming State Bar invited Cheney to give the keynote address at the group's annual convention next week, the Associated Press reported on Thursday.

In promoting the event, the organization ran into trouble after Cheney's office submitted his own biography for the speech, which was published without any edits from the bar.

Here's a portion of the bio:

President Bush and Vice President Cheney left office in January 2009. Shortly thereafter, President Obama began to dismantle the security policies that had kept the nation safe. His policy decisions have led to a reversal of the gains America made in the war on terror, in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, and a weakening of America across the globe.

President Obama has decided not to charge this jerk and his co conspirators for war crimes most likely to save President Bush and this turd is still bashing the President. Ugh! I really wish the President would change his mind and go after them. Get Cheney, Rumsfeld and the others up on charges. President Bush could get immunity if he tells the entire story or the President could charge him, have him go through process and perhaps pardon President Bush but not the others. Thoughts???? I know treating President Bush differently would not be popular, but he is the sole reason that President Obama didn't go after all of them IMHO.

At least until they got caught red-handed. They were handed to bio by Cheney and bent over and said "yes master".
